There is nothing more frustrating than getting your brand new beautiful Rolex home for the first time,
and finding that first set of fresh fingerprints.

What do you do?

Drinking solves all my other problems so it should fix this one too.

Veraet does ship to Australia (I just checked). Contact Don directly at [email protected] or go to their website... www.veraet.com

Great stuff. I use it on my watches as well as on my laptop aluminum/stainless case..

Not to jack the thread, but I discovered Veraet cleaner.


After a round of weed whacking.

After Veraet...

It great stuff and the sample bottles are cheap. I did a write up on the stuff at http://www.minus4plus6.com/cool.htm#veraet

This stuff wont save the watch after being dragged from the back of a car (my answer in the poll), but it is better that some of the other cleaning methods I have heard others share..

I would suggest sending it to JJ, but the hoof scufs would be another issue all together.

I think the belt sander would remove any surface defects, and those pesky fingerprints!
